End of Semester Reminders:

And just like that, our spring 2018 semester, here at Suffolk is almost done!

As we get close to May, it’s important to remember a few last minute details. If you are traveling outside of the United States this summer, please come by the Division of Student Success to check your immigration documents. We recommend students to get a travel signature if you have not had one since 2017. We will be checking to see that you are registered for the fall 2018 semester before we sign your I-20 so if you haven’t already done so, please get registered for fall classes. Need help with registering? The Academic Advising center here in the Division of Student Success can help! Appointments with an advisor can be scheduled at the front desk.

Thinking of doing an internship this summer in the U.S.? Make SURE to speak to an international advisor before beginning any work, paid or unpaid. We will be happy to assist you with an authorization for Curricular Practical Training (CPT).

To our graduating international students, congratulations! Should you still wish to apply for Optional Practical Training (OPT) there are two more info sessions coming up on Friday, April 20th from 2-3pm and Friday, May 4th from 2-3-pm, both will be held in room 9077 here on the 9th floor. We are also sponsoring the OPT Summit on Friday, April 27th from 1:00 to 4:30pm in Sargent Hall 5th floor. If you are not applying for OPT, you have a 60 day grace period, after your last exam, to remain in the U.S.

We look forward to seeing you at Commencement, Sunday, May 20th!

As always, we are here for you with any questions or concerns. Best of luck with your final exams!

Warm Regards,

The Center for International Programs and Services
